I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I thought I would give this pie a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The truffle flavor really balanced out the lemon and made the pie really enjoyable. I would definitely make this again.

I love the idea of this pie, but I think the truffle flavor was a bit too strong for me. I would probably try it again with less truffle.

I had high hopes for this pie, but I was disappointed. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I don't think I'll be making this again.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was delicious and the filling was smooth and creamy. I would recommend using less lemon juice if you're not a fan of tart desserts.
